Trade Minister Andrew Robb has ordered bureaucrats to cancel Australia’s membership to the world’s leading international tourism organisation, the United Nations World Tourism Organisation (UNWTO).
Following a decision by the Minister for Trade and Investment and the Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has commenced the process to withdraw Australia as a Full Member of the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO).
This withdrawal has been prompted by questions about the value of benefits of membership to Australia in recent years and follows a comprehensive review in consultation with key industry stakeholders.
